Top-quark mass measurements at the LHC: alternative methods

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2016-02-05 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

Alternative top quark mass determinations can provide inputs to the world average with orthogonal systematic uncertainties and may help to refine the interpretation of the standard method. Among a number of recent results I focus on the extractions by ATLAS and CMS of the top quark pole mass from the top quark pair and tt + 1 jet production cross-section, which have now reached a precision of 1%.
